FNSI - Project Folder

I have always liked the fabric files that Peg makes over at Happy In Quilting and with her blessing I thought I would make one ready for my first Sewing Workshop that I am running on 6th June.

The centre panels are from a charm pack called friendship and I joined this with a jelly roll.

I lined it with white 100%b cotton as any other colour did not seem to really "go" with it.

I used another of the jellyroll strips for the binding and some lovely binding that I bought from Coast and Country near Falmouth.

That is as far as I had got and I have now reached the stage where I am deciding on how best to fasten it.

Green button?

Brown button?

Fabric ties?

Will have to sleep on it perhaps.

FNSI - Applique cushion cover.

This is my first sign up, and thank you to Wendy for helping when I could not get my own link to load up.  My struggle with technology continues.

I may not have made quite as much progress as I thought I would as I was quite worn out on friday evening.

Anyway, this is a half made applique panel which is left over from a quilt that I made quite some time ago, and has been lying around waiting for something to happen to it.  So the applique was completed with satin stitch on the sewing machine.

It is not currently big enough to do much with so I had a search through my scrap fabric and managed to find a few strips which I think are left over from the same quilt.

I did not have enough of any one colour so I picked two blue gingham and two plain blue strips to widen the overall panel.

I think this will look ok and the plain blue picks out the blue of the heart applique as well..  Not sure if it will be big enough for the cushion I have so I might need another row.  Coming along though.

In fact there is rubbish on the television at the moment so I think I might pop off and finish it.

Let you know how it looks another time.

Enjoy the rest of the weekend.

xNext time I willmake something that is NOT blue........promise.
